Dural acreage for sale, complete with a floodlit football pitch

On about two hectares within an hour’s drive of Sydney’s CBD, 30 Derriwong Road, Dural, is the best of rural living with the city close by. Completely customised, the home was built from scratch, managed and designed by the owner.

“The construction of the property was a labour of love for the seller,” says agent Carolyn Wheatley. “They were instrumental in the build in 2016 to ensure it was a sleek and modern home with a floor plan that suited their love of entertaining – right down to constructing a football pitch for the family.”

The bespoke home is set high to capture the surrounding vistas and laid out across one floor. Doors and windows connect the indoors to the lush landscape and allow for peaceful moments of retreat. Nature is in abundance, including a tiered fish pond, a Japanese-styled courtyard with a burbling creek, irrigated vegetable patches, and established mature trees.

“The owner project managed the construction themselves,” Wheatley continues. “The groundskeeper, who has remained to this day, worked alongside the seller to create all of the gardens that surround the home.”

Entering through the main foyer, the living and kitchen are flanked by the office and a separate library. The high-spec kitchen with Corian benchtops and a king-sized island connects easily to the dining room and spills out to the deck. A butler’s pantry and separate sitting room continue this entertainer’s dream, flowing down to the poolside terrace, fitted barbecue and fire pit.

In the east wing are three bedrooms (one with an en suite), a family bathroom, and finally, the main bedroom retreat featuring a suspended fireplace and a private Zen courtyard. A walk-in wardrobe is joined by a spa-like bathroom with a basin hand-cut from granite and a wall of copper tiles.

Everything from the hand-tooled sandstone blocks that adorn the fireplaces to the lighting was imagined by the owner for a vision of semi-rural luxury. “The main factor that makes this state-of-the-art property a cut above the rest is the attention to detail, right down to the sandstone, hand-selected by the owner block by block,” says Wheatley.

Special elements include one-of-a-kind cascading crystal chandeliers designed by the owner that complement the floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights for a light-bathed home. Plus, next to the main residence, a two-bedroom retreat offers additional living space for visiting family above a six-car garage.

With all of this in mind, the location amplifies the custom features for an entirely private address. “This property is tucked in close to Round Corner, allowing for ultimate commuting convenience yet far enough away for a private rural lifestyle,” says Wheatley. As the vendor moves to their next adventure, this Dural property offers the best of both worlds for an astute new owner.

This feature is part of a Domain Prestige exclusive package.
